Overview of Assessment

Learning ActivitiesStudents will study Supply Chain systems and theory in seminar sessions, tutorials and through prescribed exercises and assessment work. These concepts will also be explored through the investigation of appropriate real world and simulated environments.

Competency Based AssessmentStudents will be provided with more than one opportunity to demonstrate competence. Competency based assessment is detailed below in “Assessment methods” and “Assessment Tasks”.

Assessment MethodsThe student must demonstrate an understanding of all elements of a particular competency to be deemed competent. Assessment methods have been designed to measure achievement of each competency in a flexible manner over a range of assessment tasks. Assessment will incorporate a variety of methods including technical requirements documentation, online and in class exercises, written tests, practical problem solving exercises, presentations and practical tests.
